Paint Party Friday/Summer of Color

Well this week has just completely flown by--Friday already, and pretty much the middle of July...This morning is blissfully cool, barely seventy and not supposed to get more than a few degrees warmer than that for the rest of the day! Sweet!! If the rain will hold off I'm thinking Bug 'n I just might head to the beach. Yeah, I'm not a 'hot day beach person'--I really don't do well once it gets up into the eighties. I love a soft, cool breeze, fluffy clouds covering most of those burning UV rays, and the smaller crowds that come with cooler days at the beach--that's what works for me! So, fingers crossed, weather permitting, we just might high tail it out of here later today!

Yesterday I tried to play around with the week's Summer of Color theme: Candy Apple Red and Yellow and I came across a watercolor tulip tutorial from Pat Howard's blog, the Painted Prism and thought I'd give it a shot with my Inktense blocks:

 

Not great but it's fun practice, learning what each color can do, blending and shading...and the funky little dandelions were another Pinterest discovery that's given me thoughts for more doodle flowers to play with later on...Any bit of practice and growing is never a waste in my book! Especially if you're having fun, right?

 

Also linking up with Paint Party Friday this morning...Thanks for stopping by--have a great weekend!!
